Stop & Shop

Stop & Shop is just the same old Pathmark with a new sign. I was shocked to see they did not even put in new floors. Same old ghetto people and slow checkout. Will pass on this one.

Formerly known as Pathmark, Stop & Shop provides affordable items for the community. Since the name change not much has changed about this supermarket.
They’re open Mon — Sun from 6am — 12am. Their pharmacy is open Mon — Fri from 9am-​9pm; Sat & Sun from 9am — 5pm.
Although I must say that their home, pet, and miscellaneous aisles are in disarray. Things seem misplaced and out of order. Why is the ketchup and mayonnaise near the pet aisle? It doesn’t flow. Nothing drives me mad like aisles that do not flow.
Lines are atrocious and cashiers move at a even slower place. They have self-​checkout, but even with those machines there’s always a screw up. Besides there’s a pro to going to a cashier. You’re able to get some items discounted as oppose to going to self-​checkout.
I found myself spending a lot of time looking at the fresh produce. It’s bright, neatly stocked and aesthetically pleasing. It’s the first thing that drew me in.
Just a heads up the parking lot is always packed. You may have to circle around a few times.

This Stop and Shop was formerly and recently known as Pathmark. I love the convenience of the store and it’s always packed. The best thing about it is that it’s open 24 hours. It’s clean and organized and everything is easy to locate. Unlike some, I actually like the prices and I find that I enjoy their prices rather than KeyFood. There’s a big parking lot but be careful because I’ve seen many accidents over the years.
A few things I dislike are the staff. People have been complaining about it for years and I noticed the same Pathmark employees are there but some are new. The seafood department staff is the WORSEEEEE. Unfortunately I don’t feel as though management cares that they have employees who are rude and sometimes while checking out, I hear my cashiers complaining about management while taking their anger out on me and handling my groceries aggressively. So unprofessional that it’s starting to remind me of the ghetto Green acres Walmart.
Also most things aren’t labeled with a price as the previous reviewer stated.
The lines are long but honestly what’s great about this place is that they always have a lot of registers open unlike some stores.
I also like the fact that their fresh fruit and vegetable sections are immaculate. It’s very bright and draws attention to the eye.
As I stated before, if you shop at this location, the only thing that may turn you off is the staff. Otherwise it’s good.

It’s new, cleaner… Brightly lit, looks a bit better organized than the old Pathmark. They have a better selection of herbs/​veggies, lots of «organic» items from Nature’s Promise? However, simply labeling items «organic» doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a healthy product. I’d rather shop elsewhere for my organic items.
They sent out coupons to families in the community, discounts & free items, but the free items are literally nonexistent in the store. They simply don’t carry that EXACT item… Very sneaky way of getting customers into the store. I saw people waiting in line for rainchecks.
They have special deals for a few items that you need a coupon in the circular but either from human or computer error, you might not see that discount anyway. Lines aren’t very long, but they don’t move quickly.
We bought a blueberry pie the first week they opened. It was from their bakery dept.; I gave a slice to L, and he said it was disgusting compared to the strawberry rhubarb pie from the farmers market we had recently. I took a bite and spit it out. It was very doughy, definitely needed more cook time. I had to bake it in the oven for 20 minutes for it to be edible. When have you ever had to bake a pie from a supermarket??? I think it was $ 6 – 8.
They have a nice selection of breads from the bakery area which are less processed. Meats look fresh for a supermarket, yet the cuts are a bit thin, I’d rather have supermarket with some thick cuts of meat.
They don’t have prices listed for some items, which makes it difficult to shop. I noticed other customers were confused as well. Sale items/​prices listed on the circular are not reflected in the store so that wastes time instead of trying to get in and out of the store quickly.
They have sanitizer in the store, haven’t used it yet… Better than the other supermarkets around this area in terms of cleanliness, selection. Good for my basic needs if I can’t shop farther away.
